Pumpkin Fun

Halloween's coming and I need to get pumpkins this weekend. I enjoy pumpkin carving. I love pumpkin seeds, and while I'm not a great artist when it comes to the actual craft of carving, they look okay with a candle inside on Halloween night. This year I want some different colors. Those white ghost pumpkins look cool. I like the ones that are sort of vareigated shades of green. Of course there's the standard orange ones that I need as well. I wonder how many "Beaver Believers" will honor their team with a pumpkin carving this year? I'm sure there's going to be several "O's" as well. GO OREGON TEAMS!

Anyway, have fun with the carving and if you want to be blown away by some amazing artistic pumpkin carvings from Villafane Studios, thenclick here and check out what this man can do. He also is a sand sculpture artist. I've tried that and the whole thing is magic as far as I'm concerned. This kind of art is not only intricate and hard, but temporary. If I created anything as amazing, I'd want it to outlast me.
